I think my love of Scotties started when I was very young and watched the movie "Lady and the Tramp" Don't know why I like Jock but there was something special, he was my first Square Dog.
All through the years the children and I have had many different pets from dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters and a snake but never a Scotty !
When my home burned down in Laguna Beach Wildfire of 1993 we lost everything but our lives.
Finding a place to live, buying clothes, shoes and food was first.
This all happened right before Christmas so it was very strange times.
The children were in First and Third Grade and High School.
We found a place to live and next on the list was a little black Scotty named Kirby.
That squirming puppy bundle of love and a cat named Jabba
who just walked in our door one day was our salvation.
I used to joke about when you lose everything the the first thing you need to do
is find yourself a Scotty !
So my love of Scotties continues.
All the times I have visited the UK I never knew about Radley.
Oh My Goodness.
I must make a pilgrimage to a store of "The Scotty".

Oh my goodness me Gayle - what a terrible time you must have had and how lovely to hear that a Scottie helped you to pull through.
ReplyDeleteKirbey and Jabba wee the sunshine in our lives.
DeleteHi, Gayle!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the story of how you first came to love Scotties and first came to own one along with Jabba, the stray cat who found a forever home with you. It is very touching. I remember you showing us Scotty items from that UK Radley store a while back. The Mexican Lime Chicken Soup your son made looks delicious and I will mention it to Mrs. Shady. Aggie sez that fisshie fin was gud - tasted like chkikin'. I hope her nerves are settling down.
Have a wonderful week, dear friend Gayle!
When in doubt get a gud dug or cat !
DeleteLove that Scottie collection. Very taken by that Gud Dug shaped black clutch. I see Agatha is still diligently performing surgery...so talented! And iwinston has such strikingly handsome ears. Wishing you a wonderful week friend Gayle. X
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing with sweet Dotty ?
